Ryan Adams - How Do You Keep love alive? Lyrics

Complimentary "How Do You Keep love alive?" Ringtone

Lord, I miss that girl 
On the day we met the sun was shining down 
Down on the valley 
Riddled with horses running 
Crushing them with flowers 
I would have picked for her 
On the day she was born 
She runs through my veins like a long black river 
And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm 
Oh my soul 

What does it mean? 
What does it mean? 
What does it mean to be so sad? 
When someone you love 
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy 
What do you do 
How do you keep love alive? 
When it won't 
What, what are the words 
They use when they know it's over 
"We need to talk," or 
"I'm confused, maybe later you can come over" 
I would've held your mother's hand 
On the day you was born 
She runs through my veins 
Like a long black river and rattles my cage 
Like a thunderstorm 
Oh, my soul 
What does it mean? 
What does it mean? 
What does it mean to be so sad? 
When someone you love 
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy 
What do you do 
How do you keep love alive? 
When it won't 
How do you keep love alive?
